[QUOTE="Twowolves, post: 3132532, member: 18093"] Umm... yeah, they are. Hence the reason making an item fit in a non-standard space makes it more expensive. Some of the items are priced the way they are is because you can't easily combine two effects because they occupy the same slot. Give a character a power via a feat that frees up an item slot and now you can have both. Obviously, there are more repercussions to these feats than some seem willing to admit. And even if you ignore the item slot aspect, how much is a feat worth? A feat that duplicates the effects of a 30,000 gp item isn't worth it? I was under the impression, correct me if I'm wrong, that wizards could take these reserve feats instead of metamagic and item creation feats as their bonus feats. Is this not so? Do you, then, contend that if these feats are made available, that a majority of arcane casters would not take one? Would not feel they [I]had [/I] to take one, to stay competitive? [/QUOTE]
